A Century of Mathematics in America, Peter Duren Et Ai., (Eds.), Vol
Garrett Birkhoff has had a lifelong connection with Harvard mathematics. He was an infant when his father, the famous mathematician G. D. Birkhoff, joined the Harvard faculty. He has had a long academic career at Harvard: A.B. in 1932, Society of Fellows in 1933-1936, and a faculty appointmentfrom 1936 until his retirement in 1981. His research has ranged widely through alge bra, lattice theory, hydrodynamics, differential equations, scientific computing, and history of mathematics. Among his many publications are books on lattice theory and hydrodynamics, and the pioneering textbook A Survey of Modern Algebra, written jointly with S. Mac Lane. He has served as president ofSIAM and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Mathematics at Harvard, 1836-1944 GARRETT BIRKHOFF O. OUTLINE As my contribution to the history of mathematics in America, I decided to write a connected account of mathematical activity at Harvard from 1836 (Harvard's bicentennial) to the present day. During that time, many mathe maticians at Harvard have tried to respond constructively to the challenges and opportunities confronting them in a rapidly changing world. This essay reviews what might be called the indigenous period, lasting through World War II, during which most members of the Harvard mathe matical faculty had also studied there. Indeed, as will be explained in §§ 1-3 below, mathematical activity at Harvard was dominated by Benjamin Peirce and his students in the first half of this period. Then, from 1890 until around 1920, while our country was becoming a great power economically, basic mathematical research of high quality, mostly in traditional areas of analysis and theoretical celestial mechanics, was carried on by several faculty members.

Let's first sketch the classical case; a Lie-Rinehart algebra is a couple (A; L) where L is a Lie algebra on a base field k, A an associative and commutative k-algebra, with two operations 1. (A; L) ! L denoted by (a; X) ! aX, which induces a A-module structure on L, and 2.

Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Enveloping Algebras
Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 13/2005 Enveloping Algebras and Geometric Representation Theory Organised by Shrawan Kumar (Chapel Hill) Peter Littelmann (Wuppertal) Wolfgang Soergel (Freiburg) March 13th – March 19th, 2005 Abstract. The study of Enveloping Algebras has undergone a significant and con- tinuous evolution and moreover has inspired a wide variety of developments in many areas of mathematics including Ring Theory, Differential Operators, Invariant Theory, Quantum Groups and Hecke Algebras. The aim of the workshop was to bring together researchers from diverse but highly interre- lated subjects to discuss new developments and bring forward the research in this whole area by fostering the scientific interaction. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 17xx, 22xx, 81xx. Introduction by the Organisers Since its inception in the early seventies, the study of Enveloping Algebras has undergone a significant and continuous evolution and moreover has inspired a wide variety of developments in many areas of mathematics including Ring Theory, Differential Operators, Invariant Theory, Quantum Groups and Hecke Algebras. As indicated above, one of the main goals behind this meeting was to bring together a group of participants with a wide range of interests in and around the geometric and the combinatorial side of the representation theory of Lie groups and algebras. We strongly believe that such an approach to representation theory, in particular interaction between geometry and representation theory, will open up new avenues of thought and lead to progress in a number of areas. This diversity was well reflected in the expertize represented by the conference participants, as well as in the wide range of topics covered.

Is it possible that we do not correctly estimate the kind of effect that such objects would produce if they fell on the earth? For example, may such an object have fallen on land near the southern edge of Australia and have converted the land area into ocean area and left a crypto- volcanic structure under the present sea? Or could such an object, falling in a land area, have initiated a large plutonic event which completely obliterated any charac- teristic cryptovolcanic effects? It does seem that such objects might be capable of producing large numbers of small glass objects from sedimentary materials and of distributing them over wide areas. Kuiper has recently suggested that tektites came from the moon (PROC. NATL. ACAD. SCI., 40, 1101-1102 (1954)), which is a different view from that advanced by him previously (PROC. NATL. ACAD. Sci., 39, 1158 (1953)), namely, that they consisted of material which had evaporated from the earth, escaped its field and moved in circum solar orbits, and that they were melted and degassed by close ap- proaches to the sun. He advanced this latter view in a discussion with the writer in December 1953 while the writer presented the arguments of the first part of this paper. At that time I had not thought of the rather obvious astronomical diffi- culties presented in the latter part of the present paper.

We show that the map g X -+ IX eC' (0)[[h]] is a homomorphism of Lie algebras, where we consider kC'(0) [[h]] as a Lie algebra with the bracket [f, g] = fg- gff,, g EC"C'(0)[[h]]. This map defines an algebra homomorphism A from U(g)((h)) to the algebra C~"(0)((h)). We construct a representation of Co((0)((h)). In case G is a simple Lie group and O is a semisimple coadjoint orbit, we show that p maps U(g)((h)) onto the algebra of polynomial functions on 0 endowed with a star product.
